Kmart's New Jingle Balls Commercial Inspires Awesomely Bad Puns

A few days ago Kmart released what we're sure will be one of many holiday commercials. We doubt any others will elicit this kind of reaction though. We're talking about the "Show Us Your Joe" campaign in which several hot dudes wearing Joe Boxers play jingle bells through a series of carefully choreographed hip thrusts. Clever, right? Ballsy, some might say. Jingle ballsy, we might (and just did!) say.

The commercial has gone viral, and of course, since this is the Internet, everyone's favorite place to voice outrage and indignation, there's a bit of a backlash. A sample comment on Kmart's Facebook page: "I saw your new Jingle Bells commercial last night on TV and am disgusted as I find it very offensive. I always regarded Kmart as a family department store. Therefore, I am disappointed in your decision to air such a filthy commercial and saddened that your wholesome image has taken a downward turn." Lots more where that came from. A Kmart spokesperson told The Huffington Post "The Kmart 'Show Your Joe' commercial playfully showcases Joe Boxer's men's clothing available at Kmart. We regret if some people found the commercial offensive, as that was not our intent."
